Hi,
i need cellstr NOT to delete ending whitespace. Some strings have whitespace and i need those to stay alive.
Btw it's weird that cellstr does not perform a full strtrim but only deletes ending whitespace character.
{' test '} would do the job for just 1 string, how do i perform this on hundrets without a loop?
What is the best way to do that?
thx

Pay attention to the difference between the two last commands
>> c1={'1' '12' '123'}
c1 =
1×3 cell array
{'1'} {'12'} {'123'}
>> c2=char(c1)
c2 =
3×3 char array
'1 '
'12 '
'123'
>> c3=cellstr(c2)
c3 =
3×1 cell array
{'1' }
{'12' }
{'123'}
>> c4=num2cell(c2,2)
c4 =
3×1 cell array
{'1 '}
{'12 '}
{'123'}
